Extreme B2B Tech Marketing

adding some Velocity to your life

2

Most tech marketing sucks because it’s boring.

3

It’s boring because it’s a chore.

…all passion is drained out of it

4

It’s a chore because it takes too long.

5

It takes too long because it’s made by a committee.

6

It’s made by a committee because everyone is frightened.

7

Everyone is frightened because they don’t want to fail.

8

The result is a lot of professional, credible, well-made turds.

9

Tech marketing needs a kick in the head.

10

Tech marketing needs Velocity.

The five rules of Marketing Velocity

• No one can be more passionate about your company than you are– You set the ceiling, do you want an underground car park or the

Sistine Chapel?

• Consensus kills, speed thrills– Getting nine people to agree wastes time. Marketers have to do

much more, much faster.

• Failure is to be eagerly sought out– Every flop is a war medal. Your job is to collect so many you need

a new uniform to display them.

• Too much process murders passion– If you need a chart to track it, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it.

• Get the budget on the screen– Hit the market with something new every week
